Organic Tinctures of Functional Mushrooms

What is an Organic Tincture?

A tincture is a liquid extract made by extracting the bioactive compounds from herbs or mushrooms using alcohol and water. When a tincture is organic , it means that the raw materials – in this case, the mushrooms – have been grown or harvested without the use of artificial pesticides or chemicals. This results in a purer, more potent product that preserves the power of nature as it was intended.

What is Double Extract?

For functional mushrooms, double extraction is often considered the gold standard. Many of the valuable compounds in mushrooms are either water-soluble (such as beta-glucans) or alcohol-soluble (such as triterpenes). Using both water and alcohol to extract ensures a broader spectrum of active ingredients. Double extraction therefore provides a more complete tincture.

The Big Four: Chaga, Reishi, Lion's Mane, and Cordyceps

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) – Nature's Antioxidant Bomb

Chaga is known for its high content of antioxidants, especially melanin and polysaccharides. Traditionally, it has been used to support the immune system and protect against oxidative stress. Chaga is also considered an adaptogenic mushroom, which can help support the body's ability to handle stress.

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) – The Mushroom for Calm and Balance

Reishi is often called the “mushroom of immortality” in traditional Chinese practice, where it has been used for centuries. It is known for its calming properties, and may help support normal sleep and mental balance. Reishi contains triterpenes that may have anti-inflammatory properties.

Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) – The Brain and Nerves' Best Friend

Known for its neuroprotective properties and its ability to stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) in laboratory studies, Lion's Mane has been traditionally used to support cognitive function, memory, and concentration, and may contribute to mental clarity and focus.

Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis cs-4) – Natural Energy and Stamina

Traditionally used to support energy and endurance, Cordyceps is known to help increase vitality and oxygen uptake, and has been popular with athletes looking for a natural boost – without caffeine or artificial stimulants.
